One Za’abeel Unveils Art Showcase by Swiss Artist Vlad Pocol

One Za’abeel, Dubai’s iconic landmark destination by Ithra Dubai, unveils the next chapter in its acclaimed ‘Curated at One’ series with the exclusive showcase of artworks by Swiss contemporary artist Vlad Pocol. Running from 10 – 31 October 2025, this exclusive showcase is free and open to the public, inviting visitors to explore Vlad Pocol’s layered paintings at The Plaza, One Za’abeel, in a setting where art meets architecture.

This marks Vlad Pocol’s first presentation in the UAE, following successful solo shows and international recognition across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Known for his rich and sculptural works, which explore themes of identity, intuition, and transformation.

Vlad Pocol says, “Showing my work in Dubai is an exciting and fitting step in my journey through identity and migration. The city’s embrace of both its deep roots and the cross-cultural narratives of its residents resonates with me. One Za'abeel, at the intersection of old and new Dubai, is a perfect setting for the showcase, mirroring the narrative of heritage and future woven together in my pieces.”
